That HD hood really sets it apart from others!
The all black grill is too cool as well.

Badass! As much as I dislike Boyd Coddington (based primarily on having watched that show) his wheels certainly do look good.

Imagine spending $ on wheels than watching his show for the first time just as you completed the order.
Needless to say I think his wheel company were nothing but helpful and I thought the price was fair for the quality I got.
The wheels are light and I got custom backspacing in 4 weeks.

Then get out of the road dumbass! Truck is still looking as good as ever though.

Question though... how much of a traction difference can you tell from the 555Rs to the regular 555s?

SSBC 4 wheel kit for 99-04 single piston rear brakes.
Part Number A2351019
I had them powdercoated black along with the calipers and brackets locally.

Traction has been terrible up here because its been in the 40's-50's, Its almost winter and time to take it off the road.
The Nittos don't like to hook with the stall on my setup (4.10's cam etc..)when its below 65-70.
The 555r's were sticky for about the first 7000 miles. I could of stretched them out but felt it necessary to get on it all last month

Anything better than the Goodyear GTII's though!
